With a bare allusion to this matter, were we not satisfied that the question of the utility of the French successes in Africa is likely to be discussed afresh in all its bearings. De . vtaorea DE 11AURANNE, a Doctrinaire, was the first to oppose the required grant. France maintained in Afric a an army of 48,000 men, which she was about to reinforce with 12,000 more. Wh a t a d van t age ( lid s h e de rive. from thi s ? It was to he sought in the fact, that her 'garrisons there could not graze a cow without the protection hof an escort. It had been stated that the trade of Algiers ad rapidly improved, and had opened to France an excel lent market for her manufactures. Never was there a greater fallacy. The trade was stationary, and yet France Was obliged to appropriate annually 17,000,000 frs., to 41AbSiSt her colonists. He was prepared to prove that Algiers had - cost France 300,000,000 frs. and the lives of at least 20,000 men. The colonization of Mica bv France had been contemplated, and much was said about the excellence of the soil. A short time would show this schem e to he utterly impracticable. The French did r ''t Possess the necessary requisites ever to become good colonists, and therefore colonization had ever proved a failure when attempted by France. But independently of this the materials for colonization from a Western State Were wanting in French Africa. The soil was arid—to a great extent quite barren—and there was neither a sufficiency wood nor water. Neither the coffee shrub, the cotton tree, the tea plant, the indigo stal, nor the sugar cane, ca uld be profitably cultivated in Africa ; so that all that remained to calculate upon was the produce of the olive and the mulberry. Then there was the native population Placed equally beyond the reach of subjugation and exter 111,4ation, and consequently in a state of perpetual hostility w " ttl the new settlers. For these reasons M. DUVERGIER Iv EIS s , Wsfie,Cl that no speculator would be mad enough to its ca pit a l i n such projects when he could employ it l'aore usefully, patriotically, and profitably in clearing and f ertilizing the barren lands of Brittany and the Pyrenees. tae was convinced that though the army might gain, France and the Government would lose—and lose to an enormous extent in money and influence—by the longer occupa tion of Africa, to this speech M. BRESSON, the Intendant ° , l Algier s , rose to rep l y, and occupied the Tribune when the mails were made up for London. As it embraces the wh °lo question, and is likely to make a powerful impression on the minds of an already over-taxed population, it. will l ' e c°flie the duty of Ministers to • oppose it with all the eloquence of which they arc capable. We have nn additional news from Paris of any interest. -co-d a y was fixed for the presentation of Count Roy's Re- Port to the Chamber of Peers, upon the Five per Cents. Interest Reduction Bill. The leading Opposition Journals continue to complain of the Ministerial system of keeping ti p SO large a standing army in time of peace, especially as the cou ntry i s taxed beyond endurance to maintain it. The ""se of ORLEANS is already felt to be every whit as c°Bo )' as the House of BOURBON. We select from the Journals a few extracts relative to t he progress of events in the Peninsula : 2, h" A letter from Sarragossa of the 9.oth of May, puhlished in the re de Bayonne, contains the following news :—A person worthy of !, re dit, who arr i ve d yester d ay f rom L er i da, has tithe the intelligence flat a co l umn of Mignellos, making a sortie from the town of Reuss, u n , as surpris e d th e C ar li st Junta of that district, all the members of whiai er e killed, as well as the escort, which consisted of seventy-six soldiers. It is affirmed that a Member of the Supreme Junta of Bergs is in the "Inber killed. The surprise was undertaken in consequence of infor 'ln'ti°ll given by a deserter, who said th a t th e J un t a wou ld b e on th e f o l. °W ir4"; night in a village which he named.

According to this le:ter, i t was „ Column of Rallera which, by order of General Ayreve, made a movement towards Fontrube, in which it surprised the Junta, as well as the whole escort.

The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury (Chairman), the Dukes of Hamilton, Buccleuch and Somerset ; the Earls of Selkirk. Harewood, and Aboyne; and Lords Colville, Vaux, and Moray, peared very frightened. He afterwards said he had been dreaming of his dear Eliza. Monday last the girl Edwin came to Hubbard's house, and saw him; she shook hands with him, and said she knewanti had seen her on Welnesday in company of a man in a Mackintosh. I was called sway, anti they remained in company about ten minutes. At this time a gentleman of foreign appearance, with taus. tachios, entered the room, and his similarity to the description of th e person mentioned by the girl Edwin and ether witnesses, excited great sensation ; the individual took his scat at the hack of the room. Serjeant Price stated that the deceased's lips were swollen and disco_ loured, as if a hard liad been placed on her mouth to prevent her crying out. I had been" scratching" aver the ground to see if I could find any thing. d said" you wont find anything there." He said on Friday Eliza (the deceased) was going to Windsor ; that she went out against his rersuasion between eleven and twelve at night, and came home about one with a man. I (the witness) asked Hubbard what time lie went aw a y. He said hastily, holding up his hands, " Oh, I don't know;'' He ap. pears much agitated. He has been very cautious. CoaoNErt— Quite right too. If the man is innocent, the less he says the better. Hubbard's mother said Wilham Hubbard came on Saturday, and l e f t a message that he wished to see her. She was out at the time. He left no parcel. When I was told he had been , I said, " fur God' s sa k e wlat is the matter ?" Then I was tc Id— CORONER—Why did you think anything was the matter when it was said he had been ? Witness—Oh, I thought he might have been drunk, or got into some scrape —a thousand things came into my head. My other son and his wife are gone to Ipswich. Charlotte Parker, who served refreshments at the Strand Theatre, know deceased from her frequenting the theatre. Last Saturday week I heard of her death. I had seen her the night previous. She was then at the theatre. She had a fawn, °loured gown, a blue bonnet, a dark shawl, and she had a flower in her bonnet. She came to the bar; this was near the close of the theatre. A gentleman was with her. She sat down and had a glass of wine, when he paid me sixpence. He said, " Nave I not given you half a sovereign ?" said, " No," and showed him :he sixpence. This gave me all oppor tunity of observing his features. He had dark whiskers. About five feet eight or Dino. inches high, I should say. He had no mustachios; a broad-brimmed hat ; no glasses. I could not see his dress. I don't think if I saw him I could identify him. They went to_ wards the back of the pit, and I did not see them again. He did not speak like a foreigner. She came late to the Theatre and alone. She was different from any other of the " ladies" at the theatre. She was always very steady. She never drank much. I don't think the gentleman had a Mackintosh with him. Charlotte Rosedale, a pastry-cook in Piccadilly, recollected a gentle man and two ladies coming into her shop and having refreshments in a room adjoining, but she mu . t 1 not remember anything respecting them. Several Jurymen said they did not believe a word the girl Edwin had stated. The Con°Neu now adjourned for half au hour, to enable the Jury to refresh themselves. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of most descriptions of Grain this week have been moderate, and of Flour small. Wheat and Barley maintain the terms of Monday last. Beans, Pease, and Oats remain at former terms, with little doing in the trade. There is a moderate demand for Flour, at the rates last quoted. The weather slid remains cold, for the season of the year. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour. English - 11,q00 Ire 2,600 ecks Irish Foreign 1 1,950 425 .-- ...._ TIIE HUNTLEY PEERAGE. Upon this Peerage claim being called on— Sir WILLIAM Fou.crr stated that it had stood over for.-the pur. pose of enabling the parties to alter the form of the petition ; that had now been done, and he apprehended there would ba no further dikticulty. It was, however, right to state, that the petition subseqm ntly sent in_ besides praying for the Marquisate of Huntley, also asked for the Earl. dom. Now, with respect to that, he believed that some qsu soon wou'd arise as to whether the Earldom went in the same line. Suds being the case, he did not ask any thing with respect to that. The ATTRONEY.GENERAL had no objection to the Committee declar ing that the Noble Lord (Aboyne) had made out his claim to the Earl_ dom, provided it did not go in a different line, which he believed was the case. The Lotto CHANCELLOR asked if that would not make it ❑ecessary to alter the petition again, otherwise it would appear that it asked for that which the claimant was not entitled. Sir W. FOLLETT thought that under the circumstances the proper course would be to ask the House to come to the resolution, that the Noble Earl trd made out his claim to the Marquisate of Huntley, the Earldom of Enzie, and Lord Gordon, and Eadenoch. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY wished to know whether the Attorney. General was satisfied with the evidence that hat been adduced. The ATTORNEY GENERAL thought the evidence had made out the claim of the Noble Earl, but at the same time it would be for the Com mittee to say whether, in a case where such complex evidence had been adduced, the House would resllve upon the claim without having the evidence printed If the Committee was satisfied, he had no wisli to throw any obstacles in the way. He thought the more prudent course would be to order the evidence to be printed, and defer the adjudication of the claim to another day. The Loan CHANCELLOR thought the evidence ought to be printed, and an early day api;ointed for adjudicating upon the clahn. further comideration of the claim was thm adjourned to Monday week. CAVAN PEERAGE. Mr. HANTEII was heard or the Peerage in behalf of the Earl of Ca van, who claimed to vote at the election of representative Peers for Ireland. Several witnesses were examined, and the further emsidera. lion of the claim was adjourned to Monday week. CAMOY PEERAGU. Further evidence in behalf of one of the claimants to the Peerage, Thomas Stoner, Esq., of Stonor, in Oxfordshire, was given, and the further consideration of the claim was postponed to Monday week. There are three other claimants to the title—Sir Jacob Astley, Mr. Strange Styleman, and Madame De la Canica. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor was occupied the whole morning with short causes and unopposed petitiong. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.) This morning, at the sitting of the Court, Mr. Baron PARKE gave judgment IN TILE MATTER OF TILE ESTREAT OF TILE RECOGNIZANCES ENTERED INTO BY EDWARD SCOTT AND OTHERS, In this case, Scott and others had entered into recognizances to prosecute a petition complaining of the return for Me rionethshire at the last election. The ballot was ordered for a certain day, but no parties appeared at the bar of the House to prose. cute the petition, and on application the Speaker ordered the rccogni. zances to be estreated, in so far as that the taxed costs of the party peti tioned against should be answered. The question was argued last term as to the legality of the estreat, and the Court having taken time for consideration, gave judgment this morning. The COURT said the question in the case was, whether the Speaker of the House of Commons had the power to order the estreat of recognizances by his certificate under the Act of Parlia ment, 9 Geo. 4, c. 9.2. The question arose upon the Goth section of that Act; and the Court were disposed so to modify the words of that section, so that the Speaker should have the power to direct the costs of unprosecuted petition to be taxed—a power which was likely to prevent many vexatious petitions being presented. The opinion of the Court was fortified by the case of Bruyers v. Halcombe, in 3d Adolphus and Ellis, 38; and therefore the rule for rescinding the estreat must be discharged.—Rule discharged.

NEWPORT.—This island (particularly the Northern part) is suffering severely for want of rain—few of the meadows having sufficient grass on them to pay the expence of mowing—in the early part of the spring there were frosts every night, since which there has been a parching Easterly and Northerly wind. There being three bad hay seasons, this is seriously felt by the farmers. The island has been plentifully supplied with mackarel, at a very cheap rate, vast quantities having been taken at the back of the island. MURDER IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD. CORONER'S INQUEST. This day the adjourned inquest was held at the York Hotel, Water loo-road, respecting the death of Eliza Grimwood. The Coroner stated that he bad received several letters upon the sub ject of this enquiry, of which some were disgusting and indecmt. Any one who had any thing to communicat e oug ht to come forward at the inquest. The Foreman of the Jury said that he also had received letters of a similar character. The Solicitor for the friends of the deceased, said that he alsl had re ceived letters through Mr. Norton the Mag!strate, some of which sug gested particular modes of enquiry. George Francis, of 12, Bridge-road, Lambeth, stated that he knew the witness Owen, who was examined on Monday last, and who told a story about seeing a man, in the house of the deceased, on the morning of the murder, walking up and down the hall in an agitated manner, making suspicious exclamations, and having marks of blood upon his hands. Mr. Francis said that he considered Owen unworthy of belief. That person had been for some time past living upon fraud. Mr. Bryan, landlord of the Bell public-house, in the York road, Lambeth, also knew Owen, and considered him unworthy of bo:icf. He was in the habit of imposing upon charitable societies, and would trump up any story to get money by it. One of the Jury confirmed the statements of those witnesses, and considered Owen a thorough impostor. Inspector Field said that he went with the witness Edwin to look for the foreigner whom she had described; but having walked about with her for some hours, she was not able to point the man out. He went to all the gaming houses and theatres, but could see no one to correspond with the description given by Edwin. He went also to the confectioner's shop where she said the foreigner let fall the knife, or dagger, when he threatened the deceased's life. There was no private room such as she had described. The proprietor of the house said that no person like the foreigner of her story was there upon the day she spoke of. 'Witness did not believe that there was any truth in her statement. She had told the jury in her evidence that her medical a:tendant was bleeding her when some one said that deceased was murdered, and that she fainted on the instant. The medical gentleman contradicted her in this. She had been for some time in close conversation with Hubbard before she came before the Jury. . . Field then produced some small trowels, a pointing tool, and a pen_ knife, which he had found in the kitchen of Hubbard's house. These were shown to Mr. Hanly, the surgeon, who gave his opinion that none of the wounds inflicted upon the deceased bad been inflicted by those instruments. Inspector Field, in answer to the Jury, said that he found five dessert knives in a drawer in deceased's room. He understood that there was one missing. There had been six ; the six silver forks belonging to the set were in pawn. Miss Glover told witness that Hubbard had seven shirts—only six were now to be found. Glover had marked them ; they were numbered from No. 1 to No 7, and No. 5 could not be found. Witness had searched the houses of Hubbard's brother and mother, but he could find nothing which he could connect with the murder. Joseph Spicknell, a cab driver, stated that he thought the gentleman whom he drove home with the deceased in his esb, on the night before murder, was a foreigner. Witness could add nothing to his former tevidence. Ann Slim of 19, Bond-street, Lambeth, stated that Coe house in which she lives is opposite to the rear of Hubbard's house. s , The houses are back to back. On the morning of the murder she was awoke about three o'clock, by a noise which she thought was her sister calling her. She (*Guild it was not so, and she looked out of the window of the back parlour, which is considerably below the window of Hubbard's parlour. The public lamps in the street were put out at the tints. She saw the man lotting them out. She did not see him going up the ladder, but she saw him coming down.—(A•laugh.) She thought she saw the light of a candle from one of the opposite windows, but could not swcar that it was from Hubbard's. She heard a dog bark. Mary Fisher, the servant of deceased, was again examined, but nothing material was elicited. During the whole time she knew deceased and Hubbard, which was five years, she had never known him to strike her. They sometimes quarrelled, but made it up again. Hubbard once went down to Essex to work, and deceased became uneasy about his forming a connection with another female. She went after him and fetched him back. They were very good friends afterwards. Deceased used to leave Hubbard's bed in the night when gentlemen called. She did so with his knowledge and sanction, and he never quarrelled with her or threatened her for it. Witness did not know that Hubbard objected to any one in particular visiting the deceased, unless it was the person from Birmingham; but he cooked the dinner for that person when he was last in town. He used very seldom to go from home. Ile did not watch the persons who caine home with the deceased. He used to be quite frightened lest any one should be seen. Inspector Field here stated that he had just found the missing knife. It did not correspond with the wounds. Charles Burgess Gough, police constable, 31 L, went into the room where the murder was committed between five and six in the morning. I looked under the bed. There was no utensil ; but a utensil was upon the washing stand, with a jug. Hubbard came in with the doctor while I was there. He seemed very much confused at the time, and said very little. I don't recollect what he said. I saw some drawer open—he said he had opened the looking glass drawer. He appeared very anxious to hear what intelligence had been gained about the murder, and repeat edly enquired how Inspector Field and Serjeant Price had sue ceeded in their enquiries. I have been in constant attendance on Hubbard shier the murder. On Friday evening last, about eleven o'clock, after having his head upon his hand, he exclaimed, "Oh ! my dear Eliza! Oh to God!--" and then he murmur e d some thing which I slid not hear. Last night he groaned very loud in bed, and starting up, cried out (so as to be heard all over the house), " Oh, my dear Eliza:" He stared at me for wale sNonds as though he did pot know p=,4110 W Barley.

ENGRAVINGS FROM THE DRESDEN GALLERY, Pain. L London, Colnaghi, 1838. The Dresden Gallery of Paintings, so say Dirs. Trolloppe and other travellers, has long been celebrated on the con tinent, for the number anal variety of pictures it contains, and the general excellence of their execution ; we h a il, therefore, with great pleasure Mr. Hanfstaenge's proposal to publish in occasional parts—that is to say, parts which will be brought out yearly, at intervals of from three to four m onths—engravings of the best paintings contained in this famous gallery. Such a proposal needs only to be generally known to become popular. The first part, which is now lying before us, contains not less than three plates, each of which is engraved with rare ability—especially the one representing a lady standing at a harpsichord. NEWTON FOSTER. London, Bentley, 1838. • This tale, which is one of Captain Marryat's earliest and best, forms the sixty-seventh volume of the Standard Novels, and is embellished with two engravings, neither of which are above the ordinary averaw of merit. THE PREMATURE MARRIAGE, London, Din'ton, 1838. A stnple moral tale, founded, says the author, on facts, and told in a very intetigent, unaffected manner. On Monday the friends of Mr. Fielden, M P., f or Oldham, invited him to a public dinner at Bywater Hotel(Peter.street, Manchester, Mr. J. D. Hodgetts, of Salford, preside 1. Upon his right were seated J. Fielden, Esq., M. P.; Mr. J. M. Cohbett ; Samuel Esq ; Mr. Thomas Smith, of Liverpool ; George Condy, Esq., editor of the Manchester and Salford Advertiser, On the left of the Chairman were Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Rev. J. R. Stephens, Mr. J. P. Cobbett, Mr. Fletcher (surgeon of Bury), and Mr. J. Whittle. At the sitting of the Sheriff's Court yesterday pro clamation of outlawry was made in the usual way against the Hon. Wm. Pole Tylney Long Wellesley, Sir Cavendish Steward Rumbold, Bart., Sir Andrew Leith Hay, Bart., and others. NAPOLEON IN PRIVATE LIFE.---O n ly those who knew Napoleon in the intercourse of pr:vate life can render justice to his character. For my own part, I know him, as it were, by heart ; and in proportion as time separates us, he appears to me like a bcatiful dream. And would you believe that, in my recollections of Napoleon, that which seems to me to approach most nearly to ideal excellence is, net the hero, filling the world with his gigantic fame, but the man , viewed in the relations of private life. This is a contrast which often affords me a theme for curious and interestiogreflection.—Reccollection s of Caulincourt, Duke of Vicenza. g ave Last evening the members o f t h e N av y Cl u b a grand dinner at the Thatched House Tavern to Earl Minto, as First Lord of the Admiralty. Admiral Sir 11. Digby presided, and there were upwards of fifty gallant and distinguished officers present, amongs t whom were—Lord Melville, Lord J. O'Brien, Lord F. Gordon, Ad inirals Sir C. Ogle, Sir C. Adam, Sir G. Martin, Sir R. Collier, Sir 13. Martin, Sir H. L. Baker, Sir H. Hart, Sir T. Rodd, Sir G. Parker, Sir A. Drummond, Sir G: Moore, Sir T. Hervey, Sir J. Beresford, Sir T. Trowbridge, Sir H. Pigot, Sir T. Dundas, Sir G. Hammond, Sir C. Sul. livan, Sir A. Clifford, Sr G. Seymour, Sir A. Maitland, &c. Yesterday morning, about half -past six o'clock, a youth named Hendrick, between thirteen and fourteen years of age, whose parents reside in North-street, Haggerston, whilst bathing in the Regent's Canal, got out of his depth, and, being unable to swim , was drowned. Yesterday forenoon, as the wife and family of a man named Cawthorn, a coarlismith, residing in Great James-street, Lisson_grove, were at dinner, th ey were alarmed by a noise, procee ding from one of the attics, and on one of his daughters going up stairs t o ascertain the cause, she was horror-struck on discoveringher father sus pended by a cord to th e ra il of the bedstead. An alarm was instant l y givcn, and the miserable m an, w h o had evidently been drinking, was cu t down in a lifeless state. M r. L ong, a surgeon, residing on the spot, was promptly in attendance, and the unfortunate man soon 'showed signs of recovery. No cause can be assigned for the rash act. CORONATION FESTIVITES. At Liverpool there is to be a grand regatta, besides the public demonstrations. Several yachts and boats will be present from Chester, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, and other places. The esplanade, about three quarters of a mile in length, and capable of accommodating many thousand persons, is admi rably adapted for viewing a scene of this kind. At York there is to be a public procession, a public dinner, a grand ball, and bountiful provi sion for the poor. The inhabitants of Wisbeach have resolved on giving a dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, vegetables, and beer, to 5, 000 poor persons. Mr. Labouchere has contributed 1001. towards a similar festivity at Taunton. At Reading a dinner to the poor will form the principal feature in the public proceedings of the day. At Chelmsford, Colchester, and Saffron Walden, the same course will be pursued. THE CORONATION.—Th e Royal procession will zoo proceed from Buckingham Palace by Constitution-hill, Piccadilly, St. James's.street, Pali-mall, Corkspur-street, Charing-cross, Whitehall, amid Parliament street, to Westminster Abbey, and return to Bucking h4lll I'i:dace by the satnerotttg.

Runs is the only kind under this denomination that is in particular demand. Prices of all kinds remain unmoved. COLONIAL MARKETS. The public sales advertised for to-day were not heavy, consisting o f 2,155 bags Bengal Sugar, duty paid; 107 hlids. Trinidad, 1,223 bags, Mauritius, 145 hhds. and 26 trs. new Barbadoes, 157 casks B. P. Coffee 561 bags Ceylon, and 245 bates Mocha ; and 200 bags Grenada Cocoa., We quote the whole of the Raw Sugar market as steady to-day at yes_ tesday's prices, but not showing much spirit. B. P. Sugar moved slow ly and former rates ruled. The Coffee market chewed no variation, an yesterday's prices were those of to-day. the Cocoa fetched steady prices. Tea is very flat, Rum rather lively, and Indigo somewhat heavy, and rather under sate prices. For the week there has been a better business done in Colonial produce titan fo r some weeks, we may even say for some months past, and more spirit has shown itself. We are assured, however, that the very large sales advertised for next week will damp the market. The imports to-daY are rather light. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 7. There was not much business transacted at this day's Cotton Market, and the quantity of was larger still; we cannot report the rates as lower. 3,000 bags f,rm the total sales. 300 Surat 4&d. to 5,1, ; 200 Egyptian 04d to 12d. ; 2,500 American, 5,1,d. to 9d.

A very distressing accident happened at Tockenham, vicar Wootton Bassett, on Monday week. Two children belonging to a cottager named Sl:use were amusing themselves in an outhouse ad joining the cottage, which by some means caught fire, and the unfortu nate children, no doubt being frightened, instead of leaving the flames, ran into one corner of the house. The father, who happened to be near, assisted by his neighbours, proceeded to extinguish the fire, but had not the least idea the children were there, until the flames were nearly sub dued, when he had the heart-rending sight of his two children burned to death, and disfigured in a most shocking manner. The leg of one of them was actually burnt off, and the head and bowels presented a dreadful spectacle. The mother of the children, who is subject to fits, had gone to Wootton Bassett, and was seized the same morning.— Wills Independent. The following sp ecimen of the Assembly's cant, is copied from the Aber deen Herald's report of the Rev. Mr. Lorimer's discourse. In referring to the Government mode of setting the Exten sion hoax at rest, he said—" Whatever transient political interests may be served by such an arrangement as that which the Government pro. pose, the sacrifice is an awful one—there is not only the sacrifice of con sistency, w hich is, comparatively speaking, a stnall matter—there is not only the sacrifice of a vast body of the people, who have the strong est u pon the sympathy and compassion of Government—there is the of great Scripture principl es , pr i nc i p l es f or w hi c h our fathers would have died. Abandon the principle of an Establishment in the large towns, and what is this but to attempt to strip our exalted Redeemer of one of his hard earned crowns—King of nations—and „ r i pp i n g him, too, in a conspicuous place, where all may see the in sult ; dishonouring him in those places of the battle-field where he should, if possible, be most highly honoured.—(Hear, hear.) After this, can we expect his blessing? And without it, what are all Go vernments and political parties—where their safety—where their suc cess ? 1 pity the Government, Sir, from the bottom of my heart. — (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Never had men, in the history of our country, such a noble opportunity of doing something for Christ on a m i g hty scale—of transmitting His name and their name with honour to unborn generations, and yet they have thrown it away as a thing of nought' How fine would it have been, when so many professed minis ters of the Gospel, of whom better things might have been expected, w ere casting great principles to the winds of heaven, if laymen in high places had been found standing up manfully for the integrity of God's Word, and rebuking their folly; but they have missed the golden advan the honour of extending the kingdom of the tage—Saviour, it would seem, is reserved for other hands. It is said, " there is' joy in heaven over one sinner that repented)," but such joy, it would seem, is not to be theirs—it is said, " the blessing of him that is ready to perish shall de scend upon those who minister to his necessities," but such blessing, it would seem, is not to descend upon the head of our Government." How nicely the parsons contrive to identify the pecuniary interests of their order with the cause of religion. The Whig Government have missed the opportunity of doing something for Christ (mark the horribl e pro . fanity !), because they will not rob a poor, over-taxed nation to fill the pockets of a pack of idle probationers ! A B OLITION OF TITHES.—(From the Waterford Chronicle.) —On Sunday, another of those manifestations of the people's deep-rooted detestation to Tithes, in name and in substance —and of their resolve never willingly to contribute towards the maintenance of a Church from whose doctrines they dissent, was made at Kilmacthomas, a v illage about thirteen miles from this city. The meeting was called by public requisition ; and from an early hour the roads leading to the v ill ag e were thronged by thousands eager and anxious to send forth their voices against the unholy and bloodstained system, and to emu late, if not to surpass by their earnest ardour, the displays re cently made in Wexford and Kilkenny. From every parish of t h e Eastern division of this county, the landed proprietors, Pro. testant as well as Catholics—the farmers and peasantry, poured in in countless numbers to petition Parliament once more, and for the last time, for a total and unqualifiedemancipation from the ititolera me yoke. We have witnessed the memorable exhibitions made against the a . gainst the desecrated system in the neighbouring and counties ; though in ttu. merical strength these may have been more imposing, yet in every thing else from Iv ! • n resolution ett a notion of popular hatred to Tith es, an d o f i n fl ex ibl e never to pay them, ma y b e g l eane d—thi s was i n every scnse equal if not s superior. • The place selected fur holding the meeting was partieularlY appropriate, inasmuch as the associatio n s bl e nded with it forcibly broughtcountry,in oche: to mind the successful exertions o f th e p eo pl e of this :days, to trample upon a long dominant faction, op- posed to their rights and liberties. P OLEMICAL.---Seventeen columns of Tuesday's Dublin Evening post with are occupieda report of the controversy now in progress at the Rotunda in Dublin. The journal referred to laments the sacrifice of so large a portion of its space, observing that there is, however,tanno help for it, since " the demand of the publi c i s i mpera . most states " that the indecencies of Mr. Gregg are mo of the st odious kind, and but for the presence of the police would certainly be productive of outrage." Adding, "It may become a oues tion with th e l ocal authorities to put a per i o d t o t hi s discussion. We. are satisfied that the threat of Mr. 'jangle, one of the Chairmen, to pro long the debate ad infinitum, must be resisted from the proper quarter. As to It -Ir. Maguire, he is certainly not to blame for the tone of recrimi nation to which he Was p rovo ked. The Established Church is suffering grievouslybetween most them." The C ourn•er de la Limomne gives the following circumstances of a horrible murder committed at Rioin by an idiotic man, named Vidal, on the person aids sister. From the preference shown by his parents he had long conceived an inveterate jealousy to. wards her, and wished to be revenged. On the :2.3,1 ult. they were left at home by th e father and mother, who, on their return found their daughter murdered. Suspicion instantly fastened on the son, who at once confessed the deed, and related that, a quarrel having arisen between them, he knocked his • sister down, knelt on her, and gave per several wounds in the throat with an old knife; and as she still showed signs of life, he beat her on the head and body with his spade till he fractured her skull, and she was completely dead. He afterwards threw the body near a trough outside the house where some pigs were feeding, and then proceeded to his father • •breakfast,the key of the with his leaving le house with a neighbou r ' s c hild , d es i r ing it to tell his mother, if she came home, that his sister thepigs. He was was out attending immedi ately arrested and secured. A. gentleman being► about to purchase a horse of Mr. Elliott, of the Duke of York, Loughborough, on Thursday week, John Abbey (who was intoxicated) undertook to show its paces, and wh ile galloping the spirited creature at a tremendous rates, came in con tact with a cart, one of whose shafts penetrated the shoulder of the ani mal five or six inches. The passengers in the cart were injured by the vehicle being overturned, and Abbey was hurled to the ground with such viol,nce that little hope is entertained of his recovery. The horse (which was worth 301. or 401) is also so much injured that it is feared it will pot recover. —Leicestershire ltlercury.

The Clerk of Co:ntnittees appeared at the liar, with the following reduced list of Members to serve in the Woodstock Election Committee:— Granville Harcourt Vernon, Robert Otsvay Cave, Richard Godson, Ambrose Goddard, Horace Saint Paul, Lord James Steuart, Thomas Grimston Bucknall Estcourt, Sir William John Brainzon, Sir John Buller Yarde Buller, Thomas Duf field, and the Earl of Lincoln, Mr. BAINES presented a petition from 4.1 clergymen of Birmingham and its neighbourhood, praying the House to adopt measures to put a stop to idol worship in India, which had been hitherto sanctioned by the East India Company.'j Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented a petition from the Chancellor, Mastery, and SAiolars of the University of Ox ford, callinr , the attention of the House to the declining state of the Church in the provinces of Upper and Loner Canada, and praying the House to take the subject into its consideration. Also a petition from the Royal College of Surgeons in London, against some parts of the Bill for regulating Medical Charities in Ireland ; also a petition from the Rector and Churchwardens of St. Giles, • praying the House to adopt some plan for better communi cation between the northern and southern parts of the metropolis ; also a petition from two gentlemen of the name of Humphries, the patentees of an office in Chancery, praying for the introduction of a clause in the Benefices Pluralities Bill for the loss of their offices. The Hon. Baronet gave notice, that on the third reading of the Bill he should move the insertion of such a clause. Mr. HOWARD presented a petition from Carlisle, pray ing for a reduction of postage and for a uniform rate. Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual, com plaining of the conduct of certain Magistrates of Surrey, and praying for a Committee of Inquiry. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from the University of Edinburgh against certain clauses of the Irish Medical Charities Bill. Sir S.

Mr. HLT ME gave notice that on this day fortnight, he would call the attention of the House to the Resolutions which were in Members' hands rfspecting Savings Banks. Sir JAMES DUKE gave notice he would move on this clay fortnight for returns of all ships hired during the last year for the conveyance of convicts to New South Wales. Mr. BA INE S gave notice that, on the 22d instant, he would move for the immediate abolition of idol worship in India, and the cessation of all profit arising from it. OXFORD AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. HARCOURT, that the Report of the Committee on the Oxford and Great Western Railway be further considered, Sir R. INGLIS said the University of Oxford and the city of Oxford had both petitioned against this Bill. The Bill was a Bill brought forward by gentlemen who had no local interest whatever in the railroad itself. He held in his hand a list of the shareholders, and not one of them was connected with Oxford itself. It was a speculation got up either among certain inhabitants of Bristol, or parties in London, to convey passengers by the railroad, whether they desired it or not. The proprietors of the Great Western Reii way had violated the contract they entered into with the Ilouse, by setting down passengers at a place near Eton. After the distinct contract that had been made by the . Company with the Provost and Fellows of Eton Col lege, they were now in direct violation of it, taking up and setting down passengers at that station. —( Hear.) These considerations justified bins in calling the attention of the House to the present Bill. It was originally intended to have a branch to Abingdon and Oxford, but in conse quence of the hostility of the inhabitants of Abingdon, that branch was abandoned, and he trusted tl:e branch to Oxford would also be given up. There was no Direc tor of the Company connected with Oxford, and the feeling of that town was decidedly opposed to the ex tension of the railroad. The heads of the University of Oxford were of opinion that additional facilities of communication would be injurious to the discipline of the University—that the tolls on the canals and bridges in the neighbourhood of the town would be thereby much reduced' in amount—and, taking all the circumstances into consideration, he felt it his duty to resist the progress of the Bill, and to move that it be taken into further consideration that day three months. Mr. G. G. V. HARCOURT was surprised at the opposi tion offered by the Right Honourable Gentleman to this Bill, because it was precisely similar to the one introduced last Ses sion, and no opposition had been made to it by the Uni versity of Oxford. He was quite at a loss to understand what could have induced that body now to oppose it. —(Hear, hear.) As to the Under-Graduates of that Univer sity finding facilities for going to Epsom, why they could go, and did go without the railway—(Hear, and laughter)—and by this Bill power would be given to the heads of houses to inspect and control the railway. Now, was not that better than that these gentlemen should be at liberty to go and join the railway at whatever point they pleased, under no check or restraint whatever?—( Hear, hear, hear. ) If it should he necessary, he would give any explanation which might be required with regard to the merits of the Bill, and he would now leave it with perfect confidence in the hands of the [louse. Mr. ESTCOURT said the Hon. Memter opposite consi dered that the heads of houses would be much safer under this Bill than without it. 'That was not their opinion, and although the Hon. Member said the heads of houses were were not unani mous in opposing the Bill, be ( Mr. Estcourt) had no hesita tion in saying that a very large proportion of them were against it, and considered it as essentially injurious to the discipline of the University. But, after all, what was this railway for? Was there any very great trade carried on ? ile denied it most positively ; and when the Bill was in Committee the witnesses did ❑ot say there was any probability of a great trade. Every Goitlernan who knew Oxford was aware that the trade,. independent of the University, was very small, and such as coulTl not possibly repay the projectors of this work.— ( Cries of " Question.") Mr. PRYME thought the objections of the Hon. Member opposite were chimerical. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw and the ILuse. divided : When there appeared, For the Motion For the Amendment Majority -- 100 The Bill was then orderd to be engrossed. SPANISH APFAIRS, • - Lord MA HON seeing the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his place was desirous of putting a question to him. It would be in the recollection of the House, that in the discussions on the affairs of Spain the :Noble Lord contended that the privileges Of the Basque Provinces had no substantial existence, but were only to be found in waste, value less, and musty documents. He (Lord M.)had been infOritsci that the Government in Madrid did not adopt the opinions of the Noble Lord—that they WC - I'c against the system of tyranny that had prevailed —and that they were going to retrace their steps, by annulling• that law be, which these privileges were formerly abrogated. He wished to asic if these accounts troni Madrid had reached the Noble Lord in any authentic shape. Lord PA LMERSTON would not answer the speech of the Noble Lord, although he had no objection to answer his questions. But in the first place, he must state that he did not remember ever having treated the Basque privileges in the manner stated by the Noble Lord—on the contrary, he did recollect having endeavoured to threw ridicule on the Noble Lord and his associates, for the great anxiety • they showed for maintaining the Municipal privileges of a distant country, while, at the same time, they refused to concede them to Ireland.—(hear, hear, and cheers.) And, therefore, so far from denying the existence of those municipal institutions, he had made the very existence of them the foundation of a just reproach against the Noble Lord. He could not presume to say what the in tentions of the Spanish Government might be with respect to the Basques, but he had always understood that at all times they were prepared to continue to the Basques that part of their local institutions which were compatible with the new institutions adopted in Spain. He had no reason to think the Spanish Government had at all altered their disposition on that point. He had heard there was a growing feeling of discontent among the Basques at the tyranny and oppression of Don Carlos—(hear, hear) — that that discontent had exhibited itself to such a d. gree, that many of Don Carlos's Leaders and Generals had been arrested and thrown into prison_that the greatest disunion prevailed among the troops of Dun Carlos, and that a state of insurrection existed in some part of the province. Therefore, so far as the discontent of the Carlists on the one hand, and the conciliatory disposition of the Queen's Government on the other, could afford a prospect of better times, he congratulated the Noble Lord on the present state of affairs there. Lord MA I-I ON said his question was whether any act was in contemplation for the purpose of carrying those institutions into effect ? Lord PA LMER ST 0 N was una le to say what the spat i h i f Government coitempluted. AFFAIRS OF T[TIMEY. Sir S. CAN.Nf;YG eingtheNoble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in iiiB place, wished to ask him a question respeting a matter th,t had appeared in the papers a few clays ego, stating on the authority of let ters from Tcultutse that orders had been ismed by the French Government, directing their Admiral on the coat of Algiers to intercept tin Turkish squadron, fer the purpose, as stated in the French jeurnal-, of proven i ..ng the comma:l4.qr from landing any su;,ply of men for the use of the Bey of Tunis. The question was, whether the Noble Lord was ,wart. of Jily orders issued by tl:e French Government to involve the pro bability of approiehirg hostilities between them and the Go vernment of Tunis ? Lord PALMERSTON said he hal received no inferno.- tion on the subject, and having asked the Charge d'Affairca of' Fra:.`ee at this Court if he knew anything of the matter, he said he bad received no information. He had not vet had an answer to the enquiry wr!iich he thought it necessary to make at Parig through the English Ambassador. At the same time he did not believe there was any foundation for the report. Her Majesty's Government had the most distinct assuraeces from the French Government, that it Ind no intention whatever of taking any hostile proceedinas against the territory of Tunis. He should rather think that the report o7.4inated from a cir cumstance which took place last year. AFFAIRS OF PERSIA. Mr. MILES said the House would recollect that some time ago a grievous insult had been offered to her Majostsy's Mi nister in Persia. That Minister deman , led reparation, and had expressed a determination, if that reparation were. not satis factory, he would take the course which alone beearne the ho nour of this country. He wished to ask the Noble Lord whether !le . had received any intelligence of that reparation heving been effere* and if the reparation had beee refused, whether he had talon any such measures as the lannuage lie had h e ld w-0:21d induce the House. to - suppose he would take. At the same time lie wished to ask whether the Noble Loro bad received any information of the progress of the siege of Teinrall. Lord PALNIERSTON ac c,erding to the lest dis- H .jelay arisen • it; patches received from Mr. M'Neil, some the arrival of his messenger, ; but 31e. Altrieji had received ale answer which was not satijactory. In the enean thee, thee siege of Teheran having continued four 'or five months, cir cumstances hid induced Mr. M'Neil to go laireseif to camp of the Schein and the last despatch was deten eleven days' journey from Teheran. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. Colonel PERCEVAL begged to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland a question, of which he had given him notice. A respectable merchant, residing is Collooney. near Slit o, named Kelly, had erected extensive 'there, and through circumstances had been reduced to borrows emir of money which was secured upon the premises. Tie premises were subsequently let to a Scotch merchant, named Sim, who took a lease of the premises on the opposite bank of the river. UME rose to order. He wished to know, as the statements of the Hon. Member were likely to lead to con troversy, whether any other Member would be allowed to answer him ? The SPEAKER was of opinion that the fronocrable Member was rather waking a statement than asking a question. Colonel PERCEVAL would bow to the decision of tine Chair. Notices had been posted on all the Roman Catholic; Chapels in the county of Sligo, cautioning the people not to sell any corn, or to work for this gentlemen. Mr. O'CONNELL rose to order. They had no oppor tunity of contradicting these statements. Colonel PERCEVAL was stating what was strictly true. He wished to ask whether the Government bad any 4forma tion as to the facts he bad stated, and what steps the Govern ment intended to take to put an end to those dieastrous con sequences? Lord MORPETH said that the circumstances alluded to by the Hon. and Gallant Member had been brought under the notice of the Government, and they had thought eliem grave enough to induce them to order a special inquiry to . 1- )c• made by the Stipendi,ry magistrate, Mr. Tracey, and h& hoped the result of that inquiry would be to make all parties who had anything to do with the matter amenable to justice. Colonel PERCEVAL had another question to ask. He wished to know whether the Government had iceeived any information of a most brutal murder that had been committed on a miller in the town of Ballyenoote,. in the county of Sligo. lie (Colonel Pereeval) had received information of the fact, and also of the finding of the inquest, who had brought_ in a verdict of Wilful Murder. He wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to order the stipendiary Magistrate to investigate the subject. Lord MO R PETH said that no details had reached him as yet of the murder. Col. PERCEVAL—Then am I to understand that the Noble Lord has not heard cf it ? Lord MORPETH—Yes. Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord whether ho had received any account of a murder that bad been committed at Lambeth, on a person of the Lame of Grimwood.—( Laughter. ) Colonel PERCEV AL (with great warmth) Said that this might be a laugkble eircutilstance to some persons, but it was not to him. He thought it ill became the Hen. Mem ber for Kilkenny to taunt iilia, and turn what he had stated into ridicule.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME denied that he had taunted the Honour able and Gallant 'Member, but he wished to know whether he meant to say, that he (Mr. H.) was not at liberty to ask a question, because the Hon. and Gallant Member ha:i asked a similar one.—(Great cheering! and laughter.) ISLE OF MAN. Mr. AGLIONBY wished to ask tl.e Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring in a Bill with reference to the importation of Leer, which had taken place in large' quantities from the Isle of Man. He asked the question fair the purpose of satis fying the brewers of Cumberland, to 4%hom the subject was one of very great importance. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the practice had arisen fro7n the state of the law- All the inconvenience arose from a mistake, not on the part of the officers, and he had a Bill in preparation which would give the parties entire relief. PRINCIPALITY OF WALES. Mr. 0. GORE then rose to move ,or a Select Committee to consider the subjects contained in a petition from the landowners and others in Wales. The subject was one of importance, and he was sorry it had no, fallen into better hands. The subject had already been discussed twice in the House ; the first time in the reign ofWilliam 111., who wished to bestow the Crown property in Wales upon a faithful follOYier the Earl of Portland ; but the House interfered and prevented it, because it would cause a collision between the siehts and privileges of the Crown and the occupiers.—(l tear, hear.) - It was discussed again in 1799, when a Mr. Roberts was about to be sent into Wales with a roving ems-anis slots, in order to extort what he could from the iuhabitants la the former case there was a specific sum to be paid as salary to the Commissioner ; but now he was to be paid by a per ventage upon the receipts of the Crown Lands. He then read a long extract front one of Mr. Burke's speeches upon the appointment of the Commissioner in his days. On that occasion rents were exacted where they had never been exacted before, and manors were created where manors had never before existed. It was far this reason that he called in question the right of the Croivn to have any manors or possessions in Wales. Such a thing as a manor was never known among the Welsh Princes. It was It;:ash time for the gentlemen of Wales to look to their interests .when they were bearded in their own halls by the insolence of under lings in dice, who knew nothing of the language, manners, or usages of the people amongst whom they were sent. It wag high time when courts baronial and feet were attempted to be established in places where they had nearer before been heard of—when the agents of the Crown crgaged the people in liti gious warfare by taking advantage of the uncertain state of the law. It was high time for a people brave but quiet , proud though humble, loyel though patriotic —aye, loyal te the back trone—it was time for them to look to the rights and interests which were thus about to be invaded. He would be the last person who would desire to see the Cronin abridged of one particle of its privileges, but neither woulrf he submit to any invasion of the rights of the subject to his private property. Not by open power or strength was the attempt made, as on a former occasion. It was now about: to be done by the insidious efforts of tuna trained in Somerset House to all legal subtleties, and prectied in legal cajolerics. Against the attempts of such as these he called upon the I-louse to throw its protective shield over those who were the deetined victims. If a Committee were granted, he would be able to -show the injustice which wee about to be committed. \\ hat- ever rights the Crown of England acquired in \`; ales were such only as had been pesseneed by the native princes, r.nd lie was prepared to show that rights manorial were:net:et - amongst these. The attempts made to establish manorial tights. were most outrageous . , One Noble Lord had been wereed off his own land by a person whom nobody knew. He protested, in the name of the people of Waler. against any attemptenthe part of the Crown to claim baronial rights in that principeeity. Whet he spoke of the Crown he desired to be umietsteoto as meaning the uodetliegs of office, who by these proveedings harassed subjects who were prepared to go furtLer ie protee tiOn of the privileges of the Crown than any- of t oe same underlings would dare go. There was a cure bast year In which a claim was made on the property of Mr. Wynd, but that rn tlenian brought farward a grant made by Jame; the , F,iret. If this doenMent had nut been discovered, the right of Wynte would be in some hazard ; but fortunately it la intta the hands cfone who was able to read it, and, on it= faodn tion, the claini of the Crown was ebaf;doued. 'lbis case of claim was not singular ; similar ones occurred alLover V'ales. The House might perhaps think that" the;e were • eases foe Court, of law.--( H ear , L ean . , ) wee glad to. hear that cheer ; het he would advise those Who ;rave It to consider that in all actions of This sort the Crown paid tie costs. Vic (;rover., as l•ed been dow, tight men of straw fur it - • te ., aant in the di;puted property, and then how were actions i%'t' en- CrOaChrnent to be entered into but at a certain, and periesals ruinous expense ?—( Hear, bear.) There was aneraer upon whom these attempts pressed with great ,severity. lle meant those poor persons whreby extra labour had t•rnesnetitted to their successors sonic little patrimony in the laud. - .Th ee a poor people were made the principal objects of. exaction. Not only were claims made upon them, but they • Nere threatened with actions for arrears, and made to pay pure base money as tenants for what had been in their families uoweeds . of 'sixty years. He had not yet adverted to Crown rents ; tit'oree rents had been demanded in the most oppressive form ; they had been demanded for the not and ieconsiderabie . nuridensoof land. Nay more, they had been demanded from individuals wile were net in possession of the land from which they mecca claimed, and whose answer was, " Show us those larids for which you demand Crown vents?" lithe House would rrant bins a Committee he would be enabled to prove before them • all the facts which were stated in the petition whichie had
